1. 5 Cost Effective Ways to Promote Your Dental Practice

2. Dental Office • Promoting your dental office doesn't have to require a huge budget or an additional budget at that. There are cost-effective ways to draw people to your practice, keep them coming back, and even get them to help you bring in more patients. • The key is to make your patients feel valued and appreciated with every visit.

3. Here are tips you and your dental team can follow to market your practice without having to spend.

4. Always be Polite and Grateful • This requires the cooperation of everyone in your practice, from the receptionists to the treatment coordinators. From the moment a patient comes in your office, greet them with a smile and make them feel you're happy to see them. • This habit alone can make a patient switch from one dental practice to another. There are patients that are reluctant about dental visits. Extending courtesy and being thankful can go a long way to helping them feel at ease.

5. Make sure your Dental Office has a Calming and Inviting Atmosphere • It's inevitable for patients to stay at the lobby or the waiting area. Even before they sit on the dental chair, it pays to give them a positive experience. Take a look at your waiting area and see how you can make patients feel comfortable. Consider offering free coffee, tea, or water. • And if you're accommodating kid patients, you may want to add in a small play area for them. If your patients feel that each of their dental visit is comparable to taking a relaxing break, for sure they won't think twice of booking appointments with your practice.

6. Do your best to always be on Time • Be sensitive about time. Do your best to be at the dental office in time for an appointment. Your patients usually have limited time to see your dental team. • Make them feel you appreciate that by being on time. If you are running late or are late, apologize. Or let them know beforehand. You don't want to lose patients because of long wait times.

7. Be Accommodating when your Patients ask Questions • No matter what the question is, if it's relevant to dental care, listen to your patients. Encourage them to open up about their dental concerns and worries. • If your patients are comfortable talking about how they feel, it will also be easier for you to recommend the best dental solution for them.

8. Connect with your Patients before and after Appointments • Take time checking in on your patients before and after an appointment. You can call them or send them an email to remind them of their appointment, thank them for their visit, and ask how they are responding to their dental treatments. • Make them feel you're a friend and it won't take long before they also refer a friend to your practice.

9. Check these Out! • Most important, make your patients feel the way you and your loved ones want to be treated by dental care professionals. When you're with a patient, give them your full attention. Everyone should feel important, regardless their purpose for receiving dental treatments. If you practice these five habits listed above, your dental practice will grow without you having to increase your marketing budget. • Brought to you by DGS - Dental Growth Strategies.
